HP Announces New ProLiant Gen9 Servers

HP recently announced a new addition to its HP ProLiant
server portfolio with the release of Generation 9 (Gen9) servers. The HP
ProLiant Gen9 servers will allow users to reduce complexity and cost while
accelerating IT service delivery to promote business growth. This release of
the new server line furthers HP’s vision for compute, the future of data center
technology with the Gen9’s new technology features and workload-optimized
design. The new Gen9 systems include blade, rackmount, tower, and scale-out architectures.
HP has said that ProLiant Gen9 servers will launch in waves between now and
June 2015.

The new ProLiant Gen9 server line is designed to address
challenges such as the ability to deliver more services, applications, and
storage while reducing costs by providing flexible, scalable computing
resources that are tailored to users’ business goals. Optimized for
convergence, cloud, and software-defined environments, the HP ProLiant Gen9
server line features many new innovations. Some of these features include
converged management across servers, networking, and storage to provide a
software defined enterprise as well as HP-unique PCIe accelerators and HP DDR4
SmartMemory to increase compute capacity. Other innovative technology features
include quick setup, monitoring, and firmware maintenance with secure embedded
management including RESTful APIs and UEFI for hybrid cloud environments and
increased performance with HP SmartCache and HP FlexFabric adapters.

HP Gen9 servers are designed to run modern workloads that
provide organizations with new capabilities. By deploying ProLiant Gen9
servers, businesses will be able to triple compute capacity and increase
efficiency across many workloads at a lower TCO with design automation and
optimization. The workload performance of applications that are
business-critical will also improve by up to four times to accelerate business
growth through memory, networking, and HP storage advances.
